When you make your tea with the exact right water temperature every time via an instant-read thermometer, no exceptions.
When you log your cups on Steepster with said temperature and steep time even with no new tasting notes to post.

When you get SUPER excited to find not only a soy-free and dairy-free protein powder, but one that actually has lots of organic/fair trade/single-sourced matcha in it! (Hemp and Maccha protein powder from Jaga Silk in Victoria BC for anyone interested)

ahem, when one of your end goals to motivate yourself in school while acquiring a degree is to have a career that permits you a virtual carte blanche for tea spending. yup. that’s me. i really need to reprioritize, lol!
